Cooking with apple

I have had my apple macbook for several months but just recently I have noticed that it’s been getting hotter underneath than is comfortable for it to just sit on my lap. A rather useful utility smcFanControl sorted the problem by allowing me to set a higher than default fan speed so during idle times it keeps itself cooler. I found that setting the min speed to around 3000rpm (from the original 1800rpm) meant it never gets hot unless I make it work hard.
